Never been to the new Cy's.....too many people have told me not to bother, and not ruin any good memories
Here was my usual Friday night bar routine: Mickey's for FAC. Then head to Element for a cheap fishbowl and sit out on the patio when it's nice. I've heard they charge cover and have crappy live music now though. After the fishbowl, usually Es Tas, old or new. And if we were really feeling crazy: finish out the night at Outlaw's before getting a gyro on Welch or in my last semester, a slice of Jeff's pizza. That's how you do a Friday night in Ames. Fun and cheap!
Mojazz and Mickeys if it is Thursday. Lumpys if it is early in the night on Friday. Towards the end I spent most of my time at Sips or Outlaws. Hard to have a favorite when the bars and the crowds at bars changed so much.
That is frighteningly like my old schedule. Fridays were awesome and you could so wasted so cheaply.
$0.50 beers at FAC at Mickeys
$3.00 pitchers at Element.
Most of the money was spent on shots at Es Tas to end the night.
Yeah, it's really similar to my schedule as well. A lot more emphasis on Outlaws however. We have to get a good spot over looking the dance floor to admire the scenery. :yes:
Showing my age, but That Place - downtown. and Granddaddy's. Neither are there anymore, but at least the Tip Top Lounge still is!
I'm not real big into the bars that are so loud that you can't yell at the person next to you... I must say I enjoyed the more relaxed atmosphere of Welch Ave the most.
Gotta love the Tip top chilli and beer, oh by the way see ya in the bathroom :wink:
The station is the best bar right now...although papa's corner is REALLY nice when it's not crowded. The nice thing about welch ave is that if you get there around 7, you can get a table, have some pizza and a cheap pitcher, and more importantly, watch any game that happens to be on at the time.
The Dean's list was the place I would most frequent, with any coin any drink and twofers it was pretty easy to walk out of there only spending around 10 bucks, with 5 of that being the cover charge.
Also lumpys and lost and found were great places to end the night, especially if there was a band playing.
